Simple, which song would you say is synonymous with you? I don't mean lyrics, I mean the actual music. Don't try to impress anyone by saying 'My Way', 'Beautiful' or some other self-indulging crap.

I'll go with 'Oh Mandy' by the Spinto Band, or 'Blow up the Pokies' by the Whitlams. Don't really know why, but I just do.

Our Velocity by Maximo Park

I’m not a man, I’m a machine
Chisel me down until I am clean
I buy books I never read
And then I’ll tell you some more about me

Beneath the concrete there's a sound
A muffled cry below the ground
There is a poison in the air
A mix of chemicals and fear

manners are just hunches
I'm not sure what they mean
You’re asking for commitment
When I'm somewhere inbetween

Never never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity
Is it cold where you are this time of the year?
You didn't leave a scar

A stream of numbers hit a screen
And you're expected to know what they mean
Throughout the conflict, I was serene
I can't outrun the sadness I've seen

Are you willing to resist
The people you've never met?
The devil's wheel revolves
But it needs to be reset

Never never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel at such speed

It's our velocity
Please tell me is it cold where you are this time of the year?
You didn't leave a scar

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts

I watched a film to change my feelings
Strong enough to bear a burden
If everyone became this sensitive
I wouldn't have to be so sensitive

If everyone became so sensitive
Perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive

Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie, which means I've been lying too
Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts

Never never try to guage temperature
When you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity

:( Nevermind.

I dunno which song lyrics describe me, but, I might realise which one in an hour or so, and edit this post...

Great video too.

Good song, and I did picture you as it played... that sounded wrong.

Rather abstract question. I'd say Supersonic by Oasis, for the fact that it's slightly too slow but all the better for it. :p

The amazing Common People by Pulp.

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I
caught her eye

She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and
coca-cola"
She said "fine"

And then in 30 seconds time
she said
"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you"

Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do"

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
but I had to start it somewhere
so it started
there

I said "pretend you've got no money"
but she just laughed
and said "oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here

Are you sure

you want to live like common people
you want to see whatever common people see
you want to sleep with common people
you want to sleep with
common people like me?"

But she didn't
understand

she just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what - ever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view

and then dance and drink and screw

'cos there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along although
they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out.

They'll tear your insides out

`cos everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stain and grease will come out in the bath

You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why.

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching .... roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all, Yeah.

Never live like common people
Never do what common people do
Never fail like common people
Never watch your life .... slide out of view

And then dance, and drink, .... and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

I want to live with common people like you.
etc...
